China has the highest percentage of working women in the world. They constituent more than 46% of China's workforce, higher than any Western and North American countries. Working and financial independence are the most effective way for the empowerment of women. As a professional woman herself, Von Furstenberg should learn more before her preachment in China.

I once read that a business operated by a Shanghainese woman is more profitable than a Shanghainese man.
I have to presume that the man is preoccupied with his mistresses or prostitutes, that was was what I experienced when I was in Shanghai. The men were pretty irresponsible.
So the chinese woman need to look to the shanghai woman as example instead of the west. If they can just find the resources to acquire education or financing for business, they are unstoppable.

Don't believe everything you read wrote:

@ claudebaudelaire, what you said does not make much sense. I don't think there is any survey about business profitability in Shanghai based on owner's or CEOs gender.

Most of the comments above come from misogynistic Chinese males. Males in China enjoy enormous privileges, as the lop-sided gender ratios show. Some parents still dispose of their unborn daughters in their deranged quest for a male child. The best thing that happened in China for women was the 1 child policy, as most Chinese don't abort their daughters and are forced to do their best for their single female child. However, as any educated Chinese woman will tell you, there is still much 重男轻女, or a belief in the superiority of men in China. China has come a long way in the last several decades, but still has far to go. And yes, in anticipation of Chinese criticism, America, too, still faces gender problems.

More unwarranted propaganda in the comments. Now its the Chinese men. What is wrong with Westerners? What have you got against the Chinese? Or the answer is simple : You just want to run the world and you fear the Chinese over-running it? Talk about character and values system. With the real character of the Westerners and their govrnment being revealed, can't say I think well of them. They fear the world being over-taken by the people of the Far East who are so many ..

The U.S. has been urging allies to steer clear of Asia's new China-led infrastructure investment bank. Robert Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, calls that approach mistaken on multiple levels.

Can legal reform and Communist Party control coexist in a way that will benefit Chinese governance and society?This is the question that confronts the country in the wake of its annual legislative gathering.

China's just-concluded legislative sessions seem to be another example of the deinstitutionalization of politics under Xi Jinping. Months from now, these meetings won’t be seen as harbingers of reform, so much as another lost opportunity, writes CRT analyst Russell Moses.
